The Computer Science course at Coventry University covers the practical skills and theoretical knowledge you need to be successful in this fast-paced, ever-changing industrial sector. Whether you see your future self as an app developer, a systems administrator, or an information technology specialist, our Computer Science course equips you with the knowledge and skills you will need to help drive the digital revolution.
In the first year, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third years, to specialist modules in your chosen field.We want your degree to fit around you, so upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).Common first-year coursesComputer Science with AI MSci/BSc (Hons)Information Technology Management BSc (Hons)Interactive Media and Web Technologies BSc (Hons)Software Engineering BSc (Hons)ModulesProgramming: Concepts and Algorithms - 20 creditsComputer Systems - 20 creditsWorking with Data - 20 CreditsMathematical Skills for Computing Professionals - 20 creditsProgramming: Professional Practice - 20 creditsIntegrative Project Module - 20 CreditsYear TwoIn Year two, you will develop more advanced knowledge and skills to do with artificial intelligence, theory of computation, advanced algorithms, amongst others.ModulesArtificial Intelligence - 20 creditsTheory of Computation - 20 creditsAdvanced Algorithms - 20 creditsOperating Systems, Security, and Networks - 20 creditsData Science - 20 creditsSoftware Engineering - 20 creditsPlacement YearThere’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee* of £1,250.
